Summer is time that we all want. Summer days mean more
days, the sun in the sky, high temperatures, sandy beaches and mosquitoes. As a
matter of fact, there are too many mosquitoes.
It is interesting to mention that mosquito repellent is
on the market since 1956.
If you can not stand the strong smell as the charred
remains of a chemical plant in the use of repellent or do not want to suffer
from the negative effects of DEET spray and are more prone to getting bit, our
advice is to take vitamin B1. This vitamin is probably your saving grace.
Vitamin B1 which also
is known as thiamine, is an essential vitamin that human body needs. This
vitamin is contained in foods such as yeast, oatmeal, brown rice, asparagus,
kale, liver and eggs and is important in the fight against stress and boosting
immunity.
This vitamin belongs to the
group of water-soluble vitamins, so if you take greater amount, the excess that
your body doesn’t need will be flushed out when you urinate. Therefore, you
don’t have to worry about taking too much.
Still, it is incredible that there is link between
Vitamin B1 and mosquitoes. Namely, this vitamin has the potential to change the
way you smell and the little bugs can feel that. To be more precise, enough
Vitamin B1 in your systems smells “yeasty” to mosquitoes and that makes you
unappealing to bite.
However, vitamin B1 doesn’t
change the way you smell to other humans, and there is nothing you should be
worried about.
It is important to mention
that this research is still inconclusive. Still, taking extra vitamin everyday
doesn’t have any adverse effect. So, it might be worth to try.
You should be aware that certain conditions may lower
thiamine in your body. Some of these conditions are chronic alcoholism, Crohn’s
disease, anorexia andgastric bypass, and patients with any these conditions may
benefit health-wise from taking an extra supplement.
Are you interested to try?
Out advice is to take 100 mg of thiamine on daily basis. After about 2 weeks,
you will notice that you less often are smacking these pests away from your
body.
In case of vitamin B1 is not efficient, you can try this
all natural mosquito repellent recipe. It will help you to avoid using chemical
warfare on your body as a repellent.
